The installation notes for Mach 2.5 mention that if you login as guest
X windows should come up automatically.  Well, when I login as guest,
I get some sort of bind error and then the root window appears very
quickly thus erasing the error before I can get a good look at what the
error is.  The next message that appears says that the process is waiting
for the X server to respond.  Some periods will appear on the screen as if
it is waiting.  After some time the same message appears and the whole
waiting process begins again.

I was under the impression that everything on the distribution tapes was
setup so that X would run without any additional configuring.  Has anyone
else had this problem?  If so, what was the solution?

Thanks,
